Maths: We are extending our knowledge of place value to numbers from 0-20 and then using what we know to add and subtract numbers up to 20.

History: We are learning how to use old artefacts, photographs and our toys from today to see how toys have changed through the years.

Geography: Using maps, atlases and globes we will learn about the UK , where it is and its seasons and weather.

Design and Technology: After investigating how to join materials in different ways, we will be designing and making puppets.

Music: We will continue to find out about beat and rhythm by listening to and composing music.

PHONICS and READING: these areas will be at the forefront of our learning as they help us to access all the other parts of the curriculum. The children will read in class at least once a week both individually and as a class. We will have daily phonics lessons. Please complete as much phonics and reading practise at home to help consolidate and extend your child's learning.

Please find below a video showing the sounds and also a link to Youtube, this has the videos for each sound taught.

PE: Wednesday and Thursdays

Woods walks: Children come dressed for woods and have a change of named clothing (PE kit or school uniform depending on which day off the week we go) Dates TBC

Phonic Shed Phonemes

In this video I have recorded all the sounds that the children will learn in Year 1. It is extremely important that they learn all of these sounds so they can use them in their writing and reading as well as in their phonics screening. Please also use the Youtube link to all the Phonics Sheds sounds.
